Plant Magie On IGTV

Let's talk plants. Many of us are growing tiny gardens in our apartments these days, and those plants and herbs likely have a lot of healing potential that you may not realize. Over the last few weeks, I've discovered the magic of plants through the book Plant Magic by Christine Buckley. In her book, Buckley, a Brooklynite, reveals how the plants and even weeds growing in our neighborhood could be potent resources for treating bug bites to offering a mood boost in winter months. This introduction to the plant world inspired a chance encounter with Ayurvedic Chef Stephanie Wright.

Join us today at 4:30 p.m. EST on IGTV and learn how to tap into your inner herbalist, and how to eat to maximize the power of plants based on the Ayurvedic tradition. Ayurvedic chef Stephanie Wright will teach us how to harness the magic of the ancient science of longevity. During this workshop, you will learn about principles of the 5,000 year-old Indian tradition of Ayurveda, the qualities of the doshas, vata, pitta and kapha and how they manifest in your body. You will leave this session with a basic understanding of your body type and how you can start using food as your medicine. 

Stephanie Wright is an Ayurvedic chef who believes that making conscious changes to your daily practices and diet can bring you back into balance with your physical, mental and spiritual needs. With a degree from culinary school, Stephanie shares the magic of Ayurveda with others through her company The Wright Methods as a freelance chef, recipe developer and culinary instructor. Through her company, she curates culinary programming and workshops for community-centered organizations such as hOM, Cook Space and Lightning Society and develops recipes that highlight local, seasonal ingredients for Maya Kaimal, FamilyCook Productions and Illuminate Foods.

Take your education further with Plant Magic, a terrific and accessible resource for how to harness the power of plants growing around you. All sales from the book with be donated to Family Promise, which serves children and families at risk of homelessness.
